German quality, hand-assembled and ready to accept any task you give it! At only 7.3 lbs., this breakbarrel marvel will delight you with spot-on accuracy. The R9 begs to be shot all day long, and you'll have a hard time refusing.

Repeatable accuracy is built into the gun at the factory, and you won't outgrow it. Its German heritage ensures that it'll perform flawlessly for hunting, pest elimination, paper targets, field targets or plinking. If you plan to shoot field target, .177 is the optimum caliber. If hunting small game and pest elimination are in your plans, .20 caliber is a better choice.

The hardwood Monte Carlo stock includes a slightly raised cheekpiece that is so unobtrusive that it's ambidextrous! The dependable breakbarrel mechanism is smooth and easy to cock. The famous Rekord trigger is the standard by which all other triggers are measured and can be adjusted to suit your needs. Easily add a scope on the 11mm dovetails; accepts a vertical scope stop pin.

Things I liked:Light weight, ease of use, accuracy, consistency,looks, feel, cost, prompt service.Things I would have changed:NothingWhat others should know:If you, like I, love to just "shoot", then you will really enjoy owning this rifle. I live in the city limits but back in the woods, and can shoot this gun(.177) all around my house. With a Hawke 3-9x40 scope on a solid mount, I can consistently hit golf ball size objects out to 50 yds. I use a Bogg tripod most of the time. After trying 6 different kinds of pellets, my gun shoots the Crossman Premier Lites(7.9g) best.I am going to try some new H&N Field Target Trophys(8.64g), next. With some help from a sip or two of a little Makers Mark, I'm hoping to beat the Crossmans! (You know, to settle the nerves.) I, like many of you, have shot all kind of guns all my life(70 years!). I guess I've come full circle from my first Red Ryder BB gun around 6 years of age. You'll not go wrong with the Beeman R9 and the great service from Pyramyd Air. Joe Bost, Lenoir, NC

Things I liked:The best thing is that Weirauch continues their reputation for overall finish and build quality. Power is even better than expected. Trigger would be difficult to improve on. Checkering on forend and grip is excellent for a mass-produced unit.Things I would have changed:Install delrin guides internally to eliminate the jangle, and lube with moly grease. Use picatinny scope mounting, instead of the old rimfire grooves. Include grooved or textured muzzle brake to give better grip.What others should know:Accuracy is exactly what I expected from a Weirauch: Excellent. At 25 yards it groups about 0.5 inch. The velocity with H&N Field Target Trophy pellets was 730fps after about 200 rounds. Please note that out of the box, all stock screws were not tightened enough. Be sure to tighten all of them before firing.
